The rich are hiring serfs to do their shopping and not needing online delivery. Coders like me are writing our own bots to get deliveries. The tall are reaching items on high shelves that others can't. Life isn't fair and you should expect people to avail themselves of any tools to help themselves that are not wantonly destructive to the society at large.
Kind of glum. How about: the rich are donating to those in need, the coders are creating tools to help others, the tall are handing items to others that can’t reach. Life isn’t fair and we should help others when it is not self destructive.

You have to expect the worst, because if 99% of people are sound and generous and kind the other 1% will still screw things up and force others to compete on their level.
I didn't WANT to write a scraper to try to get an immigration appointment so I could stay in my country, but other people did (and then started selling the appointments), so I did too because otherwise I'd have to give a scalper money.
Sooner or later someone was going to write this. I suspect many others already have.

Sure, but

Well that's a beautiful comment and might change my perspective on things. Thanks.
It sounds like your life might be harder than most right now. I hope you’re safe and getting what you need.
That has literally nothing to do with what he said.
Asking people to forego whatever small advantages they have-- because others don't-- is foolish, IMO.
